General Motors has agreed to pay $900m (£580m) to end a criminal inquiry into its failure to recall vehicles with faulty ignitions.
The car maker was being investigated for not checking millions of cars, despite staff knowing for more than a decade about the defect.
The fault has been linked to more than 100 confirmed deaths.
It could shut down engines, disable power-assisted steering and brakes and prevent airbags working.
